You can then delete extraneous parts of the "quote", change colors and/or fonts for emphasis. etc. Just be sure not to delete/modify the first and/or last sets of brackets ("[" and "]") or it'll look a little strange when posted.

FWIW, I insert a series of periods (..........) when I delete portions of a "quote" as I did in your "quoted" post above.

Also FWIW, my wife doesn't like cleaning out the carbon ring when she fires .38spl in .357mag revolvers and prefers less recoil so she can shoot more without being sore the next day. I found some bulk .357 158gr LRNFP "Cowboy Loads" (800fps - 225 ft-lb Muzzle Energy - less than a typical .38spl) at a fairly reasonable price that she thinks is the best thing since sliced bread. She actually enjoys shooting full blown .357mag out of a snubbie (all steel - not an air-weight), but only takes a couple cylinders full before fun becomes more like work than fun and she either stops or switches to the milder stuff.

Try everything you can lay your hands on and Practice, Practice, Practice.
Eventually you'll find what suits you and your gun best, and most likely have a lot of fun finding out.

Thank you for the tip John. I dont spend much time in forums or chat rooms....that type of thing.....so I don't navigate so well sometimes. I think this is a great forum but I struggle with sitting in a room on a computer talking to other people. I would rather be out and about "doing" in person. I do appreciate the fact that it is a great way to share information and bring people together that might not otherwise be able to talk.

What exactly is a cowboy load? I recently bought some .357 Mag 158 Grain to shoot cuz I really dont like the cleaning....and speaking of cleaning....what do you have to use to get your gun clean after those +P rounds. I tried the traditional stuff. Gun store gave me some stuff that smells like WD-40....it helped but man.....what a pain.....I spent 4 hours trying to get it clean and it still has rings.....they're lighter....but they're still there.
